  • Socialism in Europe and the Russian Revolution India and the Contemporary World Society Ofthefuture
    Socialism in Europe and II the Russian Revolution Chapter 1 The Age of Social Change In the previous chapter you read about the powerful ideas of freedom and equality that circulated in Europe after the French Revolution. The French Revolution opened up the possibility of creating a dramatic change in the way in which society was structured. As you have read, before the eighteenth century society was broadly divided into estates and orders and it was the aristocracy and church which controlled economic and social power. Suddenly, after the revolution, it seemed possible to change this. In many parts of the world including Europe and Asia, new ideas about individual rights and who olution controlled social power began to be discussed. In India, Raja v Rammohan Roy and Derozio talked of the significance of the French Revolution, and many others debated the ideas of post-revolutionary Europe. The developments in the colonies, in turn, reshaped these ideas of societal change. ian Re ss Not everyone in Europe, however, wanted a complete transformation of society. Responses varied from those who accepted that some change was necessary but wished for a gradual shift, to those who wanted to restructure society radically. Some were ‘conservatives’, others were ‘liberals’ or ‘radicals’. What did these terms really mean in the context of the time? What separated these strands of politics and what linked them together? We must remember that these terms do not mean the same thing in all contexts or at all times. We will look briefly at some of the important political traditions of the nineteenth century, and see how they influenced change.

Or should we regard the colonial state as simply another specific form in which the modern state has generalized itself across the globe? If the latter is the case, then of course the specifically colonial form of the emergence of the institutions of the modern state would be of only incidental, or at best episodic, interest; it would not be a necessary part of the larger, and more important, historical narrative of modernity.The idea that colonialism was only incidental to the history of the development of the modern institutions and technologies of power in the countries of Asia and Africa is now very much with us. In some ways, this is not surprising, because we now tend to think of the period of colonialism as something we have managed to put behind us, whereas the progress of modernity is a project in which we are all, albeit with varying degrees of enthusiasm, still deeply implicated.

  • CHAPTER -II History of the Indian Thinking on Socialism : a Brief
    CHAPTER -II History of the Indian thinking on Socialism : A Brief Overview. 2:1 The Genesis of The Socialist Ideology. Scientific socialist thought in India is a product of modern era. Indian's conquest by the British led not only to the loss of her political fr~edom, it also brought to light India's social and economic inferiority to the west. Early nation­ alist thinkers of India wanted attainment and restoration of national identity. The new wave of Indian nationalism emerged as 'the quest for a new national identity.' The nationalist thinkers hailed the British rule as a boon as it had sown the seeds of change and progress in India which had been static and staghantbefore the coming of the British. --.--· ..... In the West new thinkers and reformers had appeared who advocated the necessity of the replacement of the capitalist society. Marx was important of them who had emerged as the most formidable critic of the new industiral capitalist sociaety and as the precursor of the philosophy of socialism. Marx presented .in 1848 a full statement of 'scientific socialism' in his "Communist Manifesto." This statement has been exercising a tremendous impact on sen­ sitive minds in different parts of the world. The Russian Revolution in 1917 created a stir and aroused and awakened the minds of the countries who were under colonial rule. The Russian Revolution demonstrated that an oppressive and tyrannical rule could be over thrown by the common ordinary people if they were alert and well-organised.~ 9 0 2.2 The Growth of Indian Socialism.

  • Higher Education in India: Transition from Socialism to Capitalism
    European Scientific Journal August 2014 /SPECIAL/ edition ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 HIGHER EDUCATION IN INDIA: TRANSITION FROM SOCIALISM TO CAPITALISM Prof. Ravishri Mishra Department of Sociology, Royal College, Mumbai, India Prof. Momina Sirguroh Department of Political Science, Royal College, Mumbai, India Abstract Socialism in India emerged during the 20th Century as part of the Independence movement and gained strong hold as it espoused the causes of the under privilege section of the society. It influenced the principle economic and social policies of the Indian government after independence until the 1990’s when India took a step towards a neo-liberal economy. The hegemony of neo liberal ideology as reflected in the adoption of free trade, market economy, privatization and predominance of corporate culture that actually calls for progressive decrease of state involvement in the governance, finance and administration of the higher education system in India hijacked the idea of a welfare state. This led India to gradually drift away from socialism to capitalism. This paper outlines the impact of neo-liberal capitalism on Education. It examines neo- liberalism as coerced concepts of corporatization and commercialization of higher education in India. It highlights that neoliberalism would polarised the society. Keywords: Neo-liberal Capitalism, Corporatization, Commercialization, Higher education Introduction: The Preamble and the Directive Principles of State policy clearly state that our goal is a Welfare and Socialist state through democratic means. Education therefore was primarily state responsibility as it would help break the rigidities of social stratification, promote equal opportunities and would pave the path for country’s development.

    Class XI Paper I: Indian Constitution at Work Unit -1: Constitution Sub-Unit: Constitutional Amendments As of 2019, there have been total 103 amendments of the Constitution of India. Unit - 2: Election and Representation Sub-Unit: ‘Electoral Reforms in Indian Politics’ Electoral Reforms in the 21st Century include use of EVM [Electronic Voting Machine], VVPAT [Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail] and NOTA [None of the Above]. Restriction on exit polls, ceiling on election expenditure (Rs.50-70 Lakhs for the Lok Sabha election and Rs. 20-28 Lakhs for the Assembly election) and the use electoral bonds in election funding are some of the major reforms initiated by the Election Commission of India that have sought to bring about revolutionary changes in the electoral process and the voter behaviour in contemporary India. Unit- 5: Judiciary Sub-Unit: ‘Judicial Over reach’ When judiciary assumes the roles and functions of the legislature and executive, thus diluting the concept of separation of powers, it becomes judicial overreach. Unrestrained activism on the part of judiciary often leads to its overreach. We all know that Article 142 and judicial review have been put to many constructive uses but some actions like declaring the NJAC (National Judicial Appointment Commission) unconstitutional as it tried to apply checks on judicial power highlight the need for judicial restraints in the exercise of judicial review. Unit- 6: Federalism Sub-Unit: ‘Quasi Federalism’, ‘Cooperative Federalism’, ‘Competitive Federalism’ Quasi Federalism: In the context of special features and provisions of Indian federalism we use the phrase, ‘Quasi Federalism’, a concept given by K.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F S20<? lot 5 7 3 S Abstract This project aims at a re-interpretation of the work of two Indian political thinkers and activists - M. N. Roy (1887-1954) and J. P. Narayan (1902-1979). In light of their early affiliation with and later rejection of communism, Marxism and nationalism, they have often been reduced to representing an idealistic anti-Marxist strand of the Indian left of the immediate pre-independence and post-independence era. However, their case for radical democracy can and should be revised. Not only does their work run parallel to some important trends within the history of the European left and thus contributes to the history of left thinking in the early to mid 20th century, it may also have a lasting impact.

Mandal University, Madhepura (Bihar), INDIA. E-mail: [email protected] Accepted 21 March 2020 Socialist thought in India, in the present century is the result of three streams of Socialist ideas. The first is the tradition of anarchistic Communitarian Socialism which was aspired by Gandhi and which is being carried forward by Vinobha Bhave in the form of Bhoodan movement and by J.P. Narain in the concept of Communitarian Society. Gandhian concept of a Ramrajya is a stateless Society, based on truth, love and non-violence. It literally means the rule of righteousness as Rama to Gandhi means ‘Truth’. This kind of Gandhian Socialism could not suit Indian conditions nor could it be found feasible for any programme of rapid economic growth. It was more utopian than practicable, more idealistic than actual. The failure of Gandhian Socialism to grapple with the needs of the country helped in the emergence of the Second Stream – that of Communism. The surging success of the Russian revolution of 1917, crossed the borders of Russia and its echoes reached India as well. The anti-imperialist aspect of Communism could well fit in the Indian freedom struggle. It captured the imagination of the people, and the leaders of the Congress.
